An update on the future of ZAM.

Hello Wowhead, TF2 Outpost, ZAM.com, DestinyDB and LolKing users! Today, we’d like to make an announcement regarding the future of ZAM Network, as many of you may have noticed some recent changes occurring with our staff.

In the next few months, ZAM is going to be setting up shop in the Los Angeles area to be closer to the companies that we care so passionately about. While not everyone on the ZAM team will be able to move to the new offices, the potential new and expanded focus made moving to a new headquarters a top priority. Being within driving distance from Blizzard, Activision, Riot, and many others will allow us to give you unprecedented new insight into your favorite games so we can continue to increase the quality and depth of our coverage. We also hope to expand our content as well, especially with the incredible access to video, art, and editorial talent within the LA region.

While we’re growing the ZAM team to include these new faces, you shouldn’t be worried about any loss of service with the current sites. Wowhead, LolKing, TF2 Outpost, DestinyDB and our other top-tier sites will continue to operate as normal and will only improve throughout the year.

Over the last 15 years, we’ve devoted all of our energy into making this network the best place to get information for the biggest online games. The next step in ZAM’s growth is coming, and we hope you’re excited.

I know I will be looking at doing just that this weekend. I have my own website with hundreds of pages and many,many pictures. Still fits on a DVD with room to spare, so the amount of data should not scare you off.

Or ***** around and wait for them to go poof like all other things on the net.

That's the exact issue I've been trying to get ZAM to clarify. They mention things will continue but they state the top tier sites will maintain yet don't specify what they consider top tier. The fact there have been zero updates here and yet Wowhead and others continue to see regular updates makes me believe this site is out to pasture and they are avoiding simply stating so. Cody Bye has so far chosen not to reply to my tweet asking him to clarify and all the staff on this site seem either gone or bound by NDA.

Having maintained an auto-renew premium account for many years, I just changed auto-renew to OFF. Seems fairly clear to me that EQ1 has been abandoned at this point. As I do not play any of the "featured" games, I see no reason to contribute another cent to ZAM's revenue stream. Such a shame to see the disposal of so many dedicated long-term virtual employees.

Where are our updates. Been a member here for a long time, really seeing things fall apart, not even able to contribute anymore. Want to be able to update quests, etc. comments aren't enough I should be able to submit whole quests like a real wiki

I wonder if the new advanced looting system is messing with the info paassing to Alla

I think it is obvious that there is a rift between Daybreak Games and Zam. Since Daybreak Games has taken over EQ and EQ2, the whole game has suffered. They laid off all the employees who were knowledgeable and left a skeleton crew to pick up the pieces. The employees that were left are probably so overworked that they don't have time to do anything extra.

I don't know how Zam works with companies to get their information but it appears to me that a light bulb just burned out!

Everyone I know uses Zam for information regarding Everquest. I don't think we could play the game effectively without Zam's help. Thank you for your years of service to the gaming population.

I have never been so excited! Except maybe getting a root canal, vasectomy or oncology testing! I've never seen anyone just flat a$$ ignore their customers as you have sir! How long does it take to answer what is going on to the EQ site on Allakhazam? Who hired you? Obama? Healthcare.gov had better information when it first launched and you couldn't even get the site to come up! How about taking a few minutes and answer us!
